Topics to Include:

Meet the Press
A roundtable of the leading journalists and analysts covering digital music today will discuss their thoughts on where the industry is, where it needs to go, and will possibly share a few scoops in the process.

Labels Speak!
A collection of major and indie label digital gurus will espouse on the latest technologies, the newest business models, and their grand plans for finally getting digital music revenues to close the gap from falling CD sales.

Music 2.0
Perhaps no online trend holds more interest to the music industry than social networking. This panel will focus on the key services labels have their eye on today, what they’re doing to help promote and monetize music, and what can be done to further evolve the social networking space.

On The Road
With recorded music revenues on the decline, many point to live events as the future cash cow of the music market.  This panel will examine how new digital technologies can help increase ticket sales as well as create new revenue channels that monetize the live event.

DIY Revolution
Labels? We don’t need no stinkin’ labels. At least that’s what a good number of artists seem to think as they take a more hands-on approach to managing their careers. Hear from companies providing these artists with the necessary tools to promote and sell their music and engage their fans across multiple platforms.

Game On!
Videogames are the new radio for a whole generation of music fans.  Therefore, record labels that have traditionally viewed videogames as a simple licensing channel are now thinking more strategically about the format. This panel will explore the bold ways that both the music and videogame industries are approaching this exciting new market.
 
Plus: Compelling keynote interviews with the artists, managers and visionaries who are changing the rules of the digital game, Networking Breaks and Special Presentations!
